Prevalence and Predictors of Medical Mistrust Among African Americans with Serious Mental Illness Receiving Care in an Urban Setting
Community Mental Health Journal(2024)
摘要
Patients with serious mental illness are reported to have a 10–25 year reduction in life expectancy. Medical mistrust may influence their willingness to seek care (Bynum, S. A., Davis, J. L., Green, B. L., & Katz, R. V. (2012). Unwillingness to participate in colorectal cancer screening: Examining fears, attitudes, and medical mistrust in an ethnically diverse sample of adults 50 years and older. American Journal of Health Promotion : Ajhp , 26 (5), 295–300. https://doi.org/10.4278/ajhp.110113-QUAN-20 ). This cross-sectional study used baseline data from a SAMHSA funded demonstration project to describe the prevalence and of medical mistrust among a sample of African American adults with serious mental illness. Medical mistrust was identified using the Medical Mistrust Scale. One hundred and fifty-four participants completed the medical mistrust scale. Approximately, a third (34.4%) reported medical mistrust. After adjusting for financial stability, those endorsing medical mistrust reported nearly 3 times the odds of lacking support (AOR [95% CI]: 2.84 [1.01–7.97]) compared to those not endorsing medical mistrust. The study is among the first to describe elevated rates of medical mistrust among a sample of African Americans people with serious mental illness. An association between medical mistrust and lack of social support was demonstrated.
